Freeway speeds within the city have always been 55MPH. Higher speeds in congested areas lead to more serious collisions and greater chances of fatalities.
That's true in open areas where the roads are built to handle higher speeds. Slower vehicles within higher speed traffic can be a problem.Drivers who go 55 m.p.h. can be almost mowed over by the majority of drivers who travel closer to 70 m.p.h.
Raising the city speed limits to 70 will mean traffic will be traveling 80MPH or more, instead of the current 65-70.
